I'm thrilled to welcome back my dear friend Mary Marantz for her third appearance on the show! If you've been here a while, you already know how incredible Mary is- she's a powerhouse in every sense of the word. As a podcaster, author, speaker, photographer, and coach, she truly does it all.

Today, we're diving into her latest book, Underestimated, which releases later this month. We're talking about what it means to be underestimated, why fear is a boring liar, and how playing small was never part of your purpose. This conversation was so good and I'm so excited to share it with you!

FEATURED QUOTES

"What does it look like for us to quit playing small on the good work that's been prepared for us in advance?"

"This book is for the one who feels like they're being called up to greatness. They're being called up to more, but at the very same time, you simultaneously doubt that someone like you could ever get there."

"God did not call you to play small. He did not call you to shrink back. He made you for more than you realize."
